A meme of the Voigt-Kampff test in the beginning of the first Blade Runner. A Turing agent is giving the test: "You look down, Leon. The tortoise is on it's back.

DabbleDAM • 3y ago I just finished watching all 8 episodes of Reacher. It's a fine show, but I'm saddened by the fact that he takes off his clothes 5 times, by my count, but we don't see him hang dong. Not even once! Look, it's not sexual. If you're a reader of the books and you're looking forward to seeing Jack Reacher hang dong on the silver screen, then you're going to be disappointed, my friend. I'm sorry to spoil it, but fans of Jack Reacher need to know. There's no dong! You'll probably have to wait for season 2 or 3 for the first solid dong-hanging scene. In the third book, Reacher starts out as a strip club bouncer in Key West, Florida. He hangs dong on the second page, third paragraph. After the success of the dong-hanging scenes in the first books, Lee Child doesn't waste any time giving his readers what they want: A 6-on-1 strip club fistfight with lots of bad guys getting broken arms and busted noses, followed by Jack Reacher hanging dong in a seedy hotel room. Sure, it's nice to have an actor who actually represents Reacher's reach, unlike Tom Cruise. But Reacher's height and weight and musculature are all minor quibbles in comparison to the real meat of the issue: When do we get to see Jack Reacher's dong? Each book features at least 6 paragraphs describing Jack's enormous dong. It even has a nickname ("The Jackhammer"). So I think it's time for the world to finally see Lee Child's award-winning vision of Jack Reacher's Pringles can of a dong. It's not sexual, it's just being accurate and respectful to the books and giving the fans what they expect. You can't just make a show about Jack Reacher without featuring dong. That's illegal. The Jackhammer is canon. It's literally a cannon between his legs. It's part of the mythos. His dong is so big that, in the book Running Blind, a dude kicks Reacher in the dong and snaps his ankle. Bone shards are sticking out of the bad guy's skin. It was described as "like kicking a tree trunk." Again, it's not sexual, i…

Post by @TwinkTheory with a picture of Clavicular smoking a cigarette in a sort of poncy way. “In another time he would’ve been one of Andy Warhol’s factory stars who starred in seven vaguely pornographic underground films shot in blurry black and white talking about the meaning of beauty while doing drugs then coming to a tragic end at a remote gay millionaires mansion in Santa Barbara at the age of 27 under strange but unexplained circumstances”

r/Futurology post from u/Large-Reporter-1746: AI targeting systems have made war crimes structurally unaccountable AI Israel's Lavender system assigned assassination scores to 37,000 people using mass surveillance data, communication patterns, social graphs, phone contacts. Human review per target: 20 seconds, solely to confirm the person's biological sex. Known error rate: 10%, meaning ~3,700 people with zero militant connection were marked for killing by design, not accident. The US's Project Maven (now run by Palantir) compressed targeting timelines from 743 minutes to under 1 minute. In the Iran campaign launched February 2026, Maven's pipeline identified 15,000 targets in 10 days across 177 cities. 900 strikes in the first 12 hours. $5.6 billion in munitions in 48 hours. Impossible without AI. Under the Rome Statute, individual criminal responsibility requires proving a specific person ordered a specific unlawful act. When an algorithm recommends, a commander batch-approves a queue, and an operator rubber-stamps in 20 seconds, that chain of individual intent collapses. No single human "decided" to kill those 3,700 civilians, the system did. Officers themselves described it: "Everything was automatic. I had zero added value as a human, apart from being a stamp of approval." The ICRC has stated that lawfulness under IHL "cannot be assessed by a machine." The UN Special Rapporteur called for an immediate moratorium on autonomous targeting. Nothing happened. Instead, after the Iran campaign, Palantir stock surged 12.4% in a single week. We are watching the field test of a new doctrine: that AI-assisted mass targeting is both militarily optimal and legally unprosecutable. If that conclusion holds, every future conflict will look like this.
